Yes, I know it's a slightly provocative subject line, but really, I'm at<br>
my wits end after trying to find an editor that does what I want. All<br>
I'm looking for is an editor that's "normal" (i.e. runs in a gui window<br>
and uses standard Windows key commands) and has a find-in-files dialog<br>
that includes the ability to search subdirectories. Like this<br>

<br>
which is open-source, but is unfortunately Windows only.<br>
<br>
On Windows I use jedit, but unfortunately it just doesn't seem to run as<br>
well on Linux, and chokes on files with any ascii codes in the upper<br>
half of the range. It would be excellent if it didn't depend on Java I<br>
guess. Notepad++ is excellent but windows only. On Linux scite almost<br>
does what I want, but the find-in-files doesn't include the option to<br>
search sub-directories. There's loads of linux editors that sound like<br>
they're the dog's whats-it's on their home page, but turn out to be ugly<br>
dos-like things that run in a terminal when I install them (fte, ne,<br>
etc).<br>
<br>
So back to the original question - are there any text editors for Linux<br>
that will actually cut the mustard with respect to my very modest<br>
requirements? Or will I have to resort to hacking scite to search<br>
sub-directories?<br>
<br>
Cheers - Dave<br>
<br>
P.S. emacs and vi/vim most definitely do NOT fall in my definition of<br>
normal ;-)<br>
